TASFSEER OR EXPLANATION TO AAYATUL KURSY

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 6th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Tuesday, 22nd August, 2023).

*_TASFSEER OR EXPLANATION TO AAYATUL KURSY_*. Bismillah.


Let's continue from the reminder yesterday. There are so many important Tafsir Books But let's concentrate on the Tafseer by Imam Ibn Kathir May ALLAH be pleased with him. Aameen.  Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. 

 ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلَـٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ 

Meaning, ALLAH! There is none worthy of our worship but HE (There is no other so called god but ALLAH), the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. Imam Ibn Kathir (rah) explains :

(There is no god but ALLAH): It is a statement that HE (ALLAH) is the “ONE AND ONLY” Lord of all creations. (The Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal) means: HE (ALLAH) is self-existing (i.e. nothing created HIM) and that HE is ever living who can never die. Qayyum is that (attribute) of ALLAH through which others exist. HE is richest of all and nothing can exist without HIS order and WILL. 

 لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ 

Meaning No slumber can seize HIM nor sleep.

The Imam explains (No slumber can seize HIM nor sleep) means: ALLAH could never be negligent, unaware, nor can HE err in regards to HIS creation. Rather HE is completely controlling by being aware of what every soul earns. HIS comprehension upon everything is perfect and nothing can be hidden from HIS knowledge and there could be no secret kept from HIM….

Ibn Abbas (ra) narrates: Once Bani Israel questioned Musa (a.s) whether his Lord ever sleeps? Musa (a.s) replied: FEAR HIM! What kind of question is that? ALLAH called Musa (a.s) and said: Hold 2 bottles in your hands and keep on standing whole night. HE followed ALLAH’s order and did exactly that, but when half of the night went passed he started to slumber and bowed down on his knees, but then he quickly awoke, however in the last part of night he had a deep slumber and both bottles fell from his hands and “GOT BROKEN” Then ALLAH azza Wajjal said: O Musa! If I sleep then the heavens and the worlds would break into pieces just like these bottles. ALLAHU AKBAR. So ALLAH revealed this ayah to his Prophet (Muhammad - Peace be upon him).

 لَّهُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَـٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلأَرْضِ 

Meaning. HIS are all things in the heavens and on earth. Imam Ibn Katheer (rah) explains:

All the servants (including heavens and the worlds) come under HIS “DOMINION” they also come under HIS “POWER AND SULTANATE” just like ALLAH said: Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (ALLAH) Most Gracious as a servant. HE does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly. And everyone of them will come to HIM singly on the Day of Judgment.[Quran 19:93-95]. Allahu Akbar. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH. *_May ALLAH grant us wisdom of the Quran_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
